TV Show Distribution — Who This Is For
TV show distribution is the commercial process of licensing a finished show to networks and broadcasters. It is different from development — where a producer is pitching a concept without footage. If you have a finished unscripted show and need a distribution partner with real network access, this is the right conversation.
MY Entertainment distributes finished shows for producers who need:
A US Network Placement
Your show is finished or near-finished and you need to get in front of commissioning editors at Discovery, Travel Channel, A&E, PBS, Oxygen, ID, or other US cable and streaming buyers.
International Distribution
You have a US placement or a show with international appeal and need distribution into UK, Canadian, or other markets — either as a licensed broadcast or as a format deal.
TV Content Licensing & Format Rights
You own IP in a finished show and want to license broadcast rights across territories, platforms, and windows — or identify and sell format rights in markets that produce locally adapted versions.
If you are still at the concept stage — no footage, no pilot — the right first step is reading about how to pitch a TV show and attaching a production partner. Distribution comes after production. Once you have footage, come back here.
Our TV Distribution Services
We offer end-to-end TV show distribution across US broadcast, streaming, and international markets — covering network pitching, licensing, and format rights.
US Network & Streamer Pitching
We pitch your finished show to commissioning editors at US cable networks and streaming platforms — Discovery, Travel Channel, A&E, PBS, Oxygen, ID, Food Network, Max, and 20+ more. We know which room your show belongs in before we send the first email.
International Distribution
From our offices in New York, Toronto, and London, we structure licensing deals with UK, Canadian, and international broadcasters. Our format Pregnant & Platonic has been optioned in eight countries — a proof point for how we handle multi-territory distribution.
TV Content Licensing
We negotiate TV content licensing agreements on your behalf — covering broadcast rights, streaming rights, digital rights, and territory exclusivity. Every deal is structured to protect your underlying IP while maximising commercial reach.
TV Format Rights
Unscripted format rights are separable from production and distribution rights. If your show has international format potential — a repeatable structure that can be adapted in other territories — we identify, protect, and monetise that format IP in our distribution deals.

Development Review
Our development team reviews every submission for genre fit, production status, and network placement potential. If your show matches our catalog, you hear back quickly.
Network Pitch
We identify the right buyer for your show — not a blast list — and pitch it to our active contacts at US networks, streamers, and international broadcasters. We have made sales to 28+ networks.
Deal & Distribution

Why Distribute With MY Entertainment
25+ Years of Buyer Relationships
MY Entertainment has been producing and distributing unscripted television since 2000. Our buyer relationships at Discovery, Travel Channel, A&E, PBS, ID, Oxygen, and 20+ other networks are built from years of active development — not cold introductions.
A Catalog That Proves the Model
Ghost Adventures ran 28 seasons on Travel Channel and Discovery, generating five spin-off series. Legacy List with Matt Paxton earned an Emmy nomination on PBS. Breaking Borders received critical recognition. These are distribution outcomes — not pitch decks.
International Format Expertise
We structure format rights deals across territories. Our format Pregnant & Platonic has been optioned in eight countries. If your show has international appeal — a repeatable structure that adapts to local production — we identify and sell that format IP.
Producer-Aligned Deal Structures
We represent producers, not buyers. Our distribution deals protect underlying IP, creator credit, and backend participation. We structure licensing agreements that maximise commercial reach without surrendering the rights that matter to you long-term.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a TV distribution company do?
A TV distribution company licenses and sells television content — finished shows or format rights — to broadcast networks, streaming platforms, and international broadcasters. For producers, a distributor provides network access, deal negotiation, and rights management. For networks, a distributor curates and delivers content that fits their programming needs. MY Entertainment is a New York-based TV distribution company specializing in unscripted television with 25+ years of buyer relationships across US cable and streaming platforms.
How do I find a TV distribution company for my show?
Finding the right TV distribution company requires matching your show's genre and production status to the distributor's catalog and buyer relationships. The most important factors: (1) the distributor should have active relationships with the specific networks that buy your genre; (2) they should have a track record of shows similar to yours; (3) your show should be finished or near-finished — distributors can't sell concepts, only content. MY Entertainment specializes in unscripted formats (paranormal, true crime, competition, documentary, lifestyle) and has active relationships at Discovery, Travel Channel, PBS, A&E, Oxygen, ID, and 20+ other networks.
How do I distribute a TV show?
To distribute a TV show, you need a distribution partner with direct buyer relationships at your target networks. The process: (1) complete production on a finished episode or pilot; (2) prepare pitch materials — show summary, screener link, and any existing sales data; (3) engage a TV distribution company to pitch the show to their network contacts; (4) negotiate a distribution agreement that covers territory, rights, exclusivity window, and licensing fees. MY Entertainment handles steps 3 and 4 for unscripted shows — submit via the pitch form on this page.
How long does TV show distribution take?
The timeline from submission to a distribution deal varies by genre, production status, and buyer appetite. A fast-track placement with a strong show in a genre actively sought by a buyer can close in 4–8 weeks. Most distribution placements take 3–9 months from initial pitch to deal signature. International distribution deals often move faster than US broadcast deals because the territory negotiation is simpler. Having a finished episode (not just a sizzle reel) compresses the timeline significantly — buyers can approve content they have watched.
What is TV content licensing and how does it work?
TV content licensing is the process by which a rights holder (the production company or distributor) grants a broadcaster or streamer the right to air a show in a specific territory for a specific window of time. A license fee is paid in exchange for broadcast rights. The rights holder retains underlying IP ownership and can license the same show to other territories, platforms, or windows — a show licensed to a US cable network can simultaneously be licensed to a Canadian broadcaster and a UK streamer if the territory exclusivity is structured correctly. MY Entertainment negotiates content licensing agreements on behalf of producers whose shows we represent for distribution.
What is the difference between TV format rights and distribution rights?
Distribution rights give a broadcaster the right to air a specific produced version of a show. Format rights give a producer or broadcaster the right to remake the show in their own territory with local talent and production. A show can be distributed as-is in markets that accept English-language content (US, UK, Australia, Canada) while simultaneously selling format rights to markets that prefer locally produced adaptations. MY Entertainment manages both types of rights — we identify format potential in the shows we represent and structure deals accordingly.
Can I sell an unscripted reality show to a distributor?
Yes — unscripted and reality TV are the primary formats that independent producers successfully sell to distributors. The key requirement is production status: distributors need a finished episode, a pilot, or at minimum a production-quality sizzle reel plus a fully developed format. A concept alone without footage is not distributable — that is a development pitch, not a distribution submission. MY Entertainment considers finished and near-finished unscripted shows across paranormal, true crime, competition, documentary, and lifestyle genres. Submit via the form below.
Have a Finished Unscripted Show?
MY Entertainment reviews every submission from producers with finished or near-finished unscripted content. If your show fits our catalog, we pitch it to the right network — not a generic list. Learn exactly what to submit on the pitch page →
